Of 113 patients who were investigated by echocardiography with regard to mitral prolapse, simultaneous tricuspidal prolapse was detected in 13.3% (15 patients), isolated tricuspidal prolapse (TP) was detected in one patient. Incomplete right bundle branch (RBB) was detected in 11 TP patients, complete RBB in one that might be associated with the involvement in the degenerative process of the proximal part of the right bundle branch in the zone adjoining the tricuspid valve. The characteristic feature of MP and TP was the presence of two systolic clicks.

Article Synopsis
- * Mitral valve repair was successful in 90.9% of cases, with posterior leaflet lesions showing the highest success rates, while the in-hospital mortality rate was low at 0.6%.
- * Results indicate that despite the emergence of less invasive techniques, surgical repair remains the best option for most DMR patients, with a 5-year survival rate of 95.5%.

Background: In recent years, lead-induced tricuspid regurgitation (LITR) has attracted increasing attention. At present, there are two commonly used transvalvular methods for pacing lead wires to enter the right ventricle. The first transvalvular approach involves placing the tip of the pacing lead directly through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle, including "direct-crossing" and "drop-down.

Background: Florida sleeve procedure is an operative technique for aortic root reconstruction that offers advantages such as reduced bleeding risk, shorter operation time, and improved formation of the atrioventricular junction (AVJ) and sinotubular junction (STJ). In our department, we perform a Florida sleeve procedure for aortic regurgitation (AR) associated with aortic root enlargement of less than 40 mm in diameter of the Valsalva sinus. Here, we present a case of severe type II AR with aortic root enlargement where we successfully performed Florida sleeve procedure and augmented it with autologous pericardium.

Article Synopsis
- Primary Cardiac Myxofibrosarcoma (PCM) is a rare and aggressive type of heart tumor, often asymptomatic and can be linked to congenital heart defects like Ebstein's anomaly.
- A case study presented a 38-year-old woman with Ebstein's anomaly who experienced breathing difficulties, leading to the discovery of a mobile cardiac mass that was ultimately diagnosed as PCM after surgical evaluation and histological analysis.
- The findings emphasize the importance of differentiating PCM from other cardiac masses through detailed pathological studies, as early detection and surgical intervention are crucial for improving outcomes in affected patients.
